Preface

Safety Please read this page before preparing your arcade cabinet for game play.

The following safety instructions apply to all game operators and service personnel. Specific warnings and cautions will be included throughout this manual.

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect the system from potential damage and to ensure your personal safety: • Make sure that the switch on the back of the computer is set to match the AC power in

use at your location: • 115 volts / 60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries

such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan • 230 volts / 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system into a properly grounded power source. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

• To help protect your system from sudden increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

• Be sure nothing rests on the system's cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not spill food or liquid on the cabinet. • Do not push any objects into the openings of the system—doing so can cause fire or

electric shock by shorting out interior components. • Keep your system far away from radiators and other heat sources. • Do not block cooling vents.

Warnings

To avoid electrical shock, unplug the cabinet before performing the installation procedures.

GLOBAL VR® assumes no liability for any damages or injuries incurred while setting up or servicing the cabinet. Only qualified service personnel should perform installation or service procedures!

Environmental Conditions

Cabinet is intended for indoor use only. Be sure to keep the cabinet dry and maintain operating temperatures of 10°-40°C (50°-104°F).

FCC Notices (United States)

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of radio navigation or other safety service, or that seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include, but are not limited to, AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices (including computer systems) contribute to the electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer system has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Re-orient the receiving antenna • Relocate the cabinet relative to the receiver • Plug the game into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on different

branch circuits If necessary, consult a Regulatory EMC representative of GLOBAL VR® or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find the FCC Interference Handbook, to be helpful. It is available from the U.S. Government Print Office, Washington, DC 20402.

This device has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct the interference at your own expense.

Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Checking the Game Dongle

Figure 5. Parallel Game Dongle

The cabinet uses a game dongle to activate the game software. The game dongle connects to the parallel port on the back of the computer.

For a dongle to be recognized correctly, it must be connected to the parallel port before the cabinet is powered ON. If the dongle is not recognized, power the cabinet OFF, make sure that the dongle is connected properly, and then power ON to see if this resolves the problem.

If the dongle should come off while the game is running, a NO DONGLE screen will appear. If this happens, the dongle can be re-installed without rebooting the game.

Note: The dongle supplied with the cabinet is specific to the game and software version. Future software upgrades may require you to also upgrade the dongle.

Important: Some of your registration information is stored in the dongle, so if you replace your computer, remove the dongle and keep it with the cabinet.

3.1 Audio Amp PCB and Speakers Service Caution: To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle PCBs by the edges only and use a grounding wrist strap or similar precaution. The 3.1 Audio Amp PCB provides audio for the game. Figure 24, below, shows the Audio Amp PCB, wiring connections, and audio adjustment pots.

Figure 24. Audio Amp PCB and Speaker Wiring

The Audio Amp PCB is powered by +12 VDC from the DC power supply, connected using a standard 4-pin DC power connector.

Refer to Figure 24 for the location of the volume controls on the PCB. These controls should be used only for fine-tuning speaker volume. Most volume adjustments should be made from the Audio Settings Operator Menu, as described on page 19. To adjust the volume level on the Audio Amp PCB, use a small screwdriver to turn the pots.

The Audio Amp PCB is connected to the computer audio ports by two 3.5 mm stereo audio cables. Each computer audio port is color coded as follows:

• Green: Left and right speakers • Blue: Not used • Red: Subwoofer

The speakers are connected to the Front L/R speaker port, and the subwoofer to the SUB port on the Audio Amp PCB as shown in Figure 24.

Warranty Service

If at some point you require warranty service, contact your distributor. If the technical support staff determines that your game is defective, a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number will be issued.

Warranty Information

LIMITED WARRANTY GLOBAL VR® warrants that its computer circuit boards, hard drives, power supplies, monitors, displays, controls, sensors, and mechanical structures are free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of shipment. All software and accompanying documentation furnished with, or as part of the Product, is supplied “AS IS” with no warranty of any kind except where expressly provided otherwise in any documentation or license agreement furnished with the Product. During the warranty period, GLOBAL VR® will, at no charge, repair the Product, provided:

- Purchaser believes that the Product is defective in material or workmanship and promptly notifies GLOBAL VR® in writing with an explanation of the claim;

- All claims for warranty service are made within the warranty period; - Products are returned adequately packed and freight prepaid to GLOBAL VR®’s designated service center; - GLOBAL VR®’s inspection or test of the Product verifies to GLOBAL VR®’s satisfaction that the alleged defect(s) existed

and were not caused by accident, misuse, neglect, unauthorized or attempted repair or testing, unauthorized modification, incorrect installation, vandalism, failure to follow the maintenance schedule or procedures; or operation in out-of-specification environmental conditions.

GLOBAL VR® will return the repaired Product freight prepaid to the Purchaser. All freight costs associated with replacement of warranty parts after expiration of the original warranty period are the responsibility of the Purchaser. GLOBAL VR® is not obligated to provide the Purchaser with a substitute unit or on-site service during the warranty period or at any time. If after investigation GLOBAL VR® determines that the reported problem was not covered by the warranty, Purchaser shall pay GLOBAL VR® for the cost of investigating the problem at its then prevailing per incident billing rate. No repair or replacement of any Product or part therein shall extend the warranty period as to the entire Product. The warranty on the repaired part only shall be in effect for a period of ninety (90) days following the repair or replacement of that part or the remaining period of the Product parts warranty, whichever is greater. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy and GLOBAL VR®’s sole obligation is to supply or pay for all labor necessary to repair any Product found to be defective within the warranty period and to supply, at no extra charge, new or rebuilt replacements for defective parts. If repair or replacement fails to remedy the defect, then, and only in such event, shall GLOBAL VR® refund to Purchaser the purchase price for said Product. Purchaser’s failure to make a claim as provided above or continued use of the Product shall constitute an unqualified acceptance of said Product and a waiver by Purchaser of all claims thereto. IN NO EVENT SHALL GLOBAL VR® BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OPERATION OF THE GAME IN ANY CONDITION. GLOBAL VR®

SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUITABILITY, PERFORMANCE, OR SAFETY OF ANY NON- GLOBAL VR® PART OR ANY MODIFICATION PERFORMED BY ANY PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR UNLESS SUCH WORK IS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED IN ADVANCE BY GLOBAL VR®. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON GLOBAL VR®’S PART, EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN A WRITTEN CONTRACT BETWEEN GLOBAL VR® AND PURCHASER CONTAINING SPECIFIC TERMS WHICH SUPERSEDE THE TERMS HEREIN. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME OTHER LIABILITIES, IF ANY, CONNECTED WITH THE SALE OF PRODUCTS BY GLOBAL VR®.
